from over 3,000 reviews "The European ramshorn snail(Planorbarius corneus) grows significantly larger than the common small ramshorn snail Planorbella duryi. Their shell has a distinct structure and is solid brown to dark brown. European post horn snails grow up to 4 cm in size, making them much more impressive than their small aquarium cousins. Besides the completely dark form, there is also a form with an orange body and likewise dark house.
The lung sn ail Planorbarius corneus is adapted to oxygen-poor water - not only can it breathe atmospheric oxygen with its lung bladder, it is also one of the very few aquatic snail species to have red blood with the blood pigment hemoglobin, which serves well for the snail's oxygen supply.
The European posthorn snail is separately sexual, but can presumably self-fertilize. However, it always prefers sexual reproduction. Even in the pond, the European posthorn snail attaches its primordial glass-shaped clutch to hard substrates. The eggs in the clutch are always arranged on a plane, and the spawn ball is surrounded by a hard shell that protects it. In the pond, the posthorn snail reproduces during the warm season, and in winter it hibernates at the bottom of the pond. It can overwinter in the open if the pond does not freeze completely.
It does not need to be fed in the open, it feeds on algae and dead plant remains as well as leaves that fall into the pond.
Of course, you can also keep the European post horn snail in the aquarium. There it is not quite as robust as Planorbella duryi, but it also gets used to the conditions in the house. A lowering of temperature in winter suits their nature very well. In the aquarium it also likes to eat algae and plant remains, but also likes fish food remains, shrimp food and special snail food. If fed sparingly, there is no need to fear too high a reproduction rate.
The European posthorn snail can bekept in the aquarium very well together with dwarf and fan shrimps, with peaceful fish, non-predatory snails and also with mussels . Also in the pond it lives very well together with mussels and also with fish.
The European posthorn snail is quite adaptable when it comes to water values, but it does not like too high temperatures. Medium to hard water is preferred.
Our food recommendation: With the Natureholic Snail Feed Power Paste you create a feeding lawn that is very well accepted by all aufwuchs feeding snails. Also delicate wild-caught snails such as racing snails or staghorn snails, which are stressed after transport and do not go to conventional food, can be fed up well with it.
Our plant recommendation: Use for the planting NatureHolic InVitros. These are free of snails, planarians and other unwanted co-inhabitants. Also free of algae spores, bacteria and fungi.
Expert Tip: We recommend for fish keeping the NatureHolic 3 Phase Liquid. The care set offers the best all-round protection for your animals. It ensures optimal conditions for successful breeding and keeping.
Actively prevent outbreaks: With the invisible Natureholic Snail Barrier you prevent the escape and loss of your snails from the aquarium.

Ich habe 2 x Posthornschnecken für meinen Gartenteich bestellt. Beide Sendungen kamen heil und unversehrt bei mir an. Obwohl ich mir bei der 2. Sendung wirklich Sorgen um die Tierchen gemacht habe, wegen der Hitze. Aber sie waren gut verpackt und wuselten nach kurzer Zeit putzmunter in meinem Teich herum. Von wegen lahme Schnecke... Die 2. Sendung verzögerte sich durch den Feiertag ein paar Tage,aber darüber würde ich zeitnah von Garnelio informiert. Ich kann Garnelio nur empfehlen und werde sicher wieder dort bestellen.
